As a programmer, I had attempted many different games which were far too ambitious or out of scope.

I decided to ditch the fancy art, getting hung up on long hauls of forum troubleshooting and just make a damn game.

The product of this is the first project I have ever completed.

Captain Glory: Tropical Invasion is about a fleet squad commander that has his mothership about to be overrun by his arch nemesis; the evil pineberries. These fruity delinquents are out to infect the base with a deadly virus they carry in their nectar.

In a desperate attempt to wipe out the oncoming fleet, Captain Glory boards his ship in a terrifying mission to destroy the invaders.

How long can you last against these deadly foes?

The objective is simple. Last as long as you can against a horde of evil fruit and get your highest score.

The art was really great. I like the style. I'm sure some improvements could improve the game. Perhaps a visual explanation for why you need to stop the yellow strawberries, like you see a planet or something. I was strangely addicted to the game, I think that the simplicity works well.

Good work on completing a project and publishing, that's a big step. I'm excited to see what you can create in the future.

just opinions first I think there should be a choice to turn the audio off for people who do not wanna mute there computer and u could use a better starting screen and when you lose and it says the mother board is infected there should be a menu screen but as for someone who also struggle on there first game I know how it is

I feel that the main challenge I wanted to present to the player was having enemies spawn, not in massive numbers, maybe a maximum of 3-4 at a time, which would cause the player to have to think very carefully about where they place their lasers.

If that just isn't working for you, then perhaps there are things that I definitely need to reconsider when working on my next project. Thank you for your encouragement and criticism, it is very helpful.

Good premise, needs work. I would say this game should have a little more polish and shine. But if the game were to be released to the public as is it would not be a huge disappointment, just another mediocre game that could be good, great even but isn't and just needs more work.

Wow, that is definitely a compliment. I never thought I'd get a statement from someone that this could be "great" with a little more polish! I will definitely think about making drawings a little higher in quality with my new projects. Not a huge disappointment is more than okay with me. Thank you!

Thanks for your response. I will play more arcade shooters in the meantime, should I return to this genre. Despite the game being intentionally simple (due to a small scope of my first project) I will attempt to flesh out what is missing.
